I think the biggest disservice you can do to yourself as a startup is to be protective about your idea and being afraid of getting cloned..

Ideas by themselves don't mean anything.. Its the execution of this idea that makes for a good venture. I personally meet so many people who don't speak or talk about their idea because they are afraid it will be copied. It just stops them from getting help from others.

On the other hand I have been open about our startup idea and what we are developing, and an amazing thing it has done for us, is the feedback it has gotten us and more importantly connections to right places and people.
